from a new center in moscow this is the online on the screen twenty four hours a day. the un security council has issued a stern rebuke to north korea over its third nuclear test as it held an emergency meeting in response to the test in defiance of international regulations. saying it plans to beef up the sanctions already in place for the previous nuclear drills and he said now he has more for us now the most powerful atomic experiment yet. so far strong words from foreign minister sergei lavrov concerning this test by north korea urging the u.n. security council to respond immediately however at the same time warning that caution needs to be taken and escalation needs to be prevented we do this but i would like to stress that north korea's nuclear test deserves condemnations we hold
12:02 pm
the move will not be used as a pretext to build up a military presence around the korean peninsula lost we believe that flexing military muscles in the region is extremely dangerous as this as north korea is threatening further measures the reclusive state is saying this is only the beginning the first of several responses to what they call outrageous hostility coming from washington now the main concern is that this puts north korea one step closer to building a nuclear warhead small enough to mount on a not long range missile capable of reaching the united states and so we're seeing and will continue to see strong reaction in the international community you have countries like russia pushing for dialogue and diplomacy and then partners in the west pushing for strong action what is the right way it's not for me certainly to answer it's a question that's on many people's mind is how do we go further and actually get something done this is a longstanding issue today's news of course was explosive really the past to change
12:03 pm
the situation certainly that's what's expected to be on the table at the u.n. security council and let's not forget that many people are looking at this as a direct message from new leader kim jong un to president obama just hours before he gives his state of the union address and shortly president obama is going to react to this and most likely it's going to be by once again threatening sanctions and further isolation and the big question is that enough to want to tear north korea from its nuclear ambitions and secondly is it safe if the reclusive state is in fact advancing its nuclear capabilities. well for more on this u.n. security council meeting let's now get to more from our he's going to come on she is in washington for us going what exactly came out of this emergency meeting what is the likely next step for the international community well bill members of the u.n. security council have unanimously condemned north korea's nuclear test on tuesday
12:04 pm
strong words of condemnation coming from washington moscow beijing with china being north korea's ally and yet beijing has condemned the test together with all other members of the of the security council this universal condemnation will most probably be followed by sanctions north korea carried out nuclear testing two thousand and six in two thousand and nine which prompted the security council to impose sanctions including a ban on the import of nuclear and missile technology and an arms embargo getting approval on a new round of sanctions could take weeks. china condemned north korea's nuclear test council diplomats say beijing could be expected to put up some resistance to tough new sanctions to avoid angry north korea but probably that will happen with a within the next few weeks last month the security council adopted a resolution that existing sanctions against pyongyang in response to its december

as a new fact to balance against the united states so it's known as it does nods to cold interest of beijing and these kind of behaviors i mean will still be tolerated by beijing at this moment so as the new governments of south korea and japan just being installed and then quit worrying the misuse of this excuse to mobilize their own writers as collusion outflows to build up their matric up a bit or two it's so dark and then beijing but also matured instead of an excuse to mobilize to all but assured him pain and then the results could be a competition among all the poles in the region that's more so than the old. iran is also condemned the north korean nuclear test calling for all atomic weapons to be destroyed tehran itself has revealed it is reducing stocks of material that has the potential of becoming weaponized with another round of talks just around the

accused of only giving access to reporters traveling with its troops. pope benedict says he will not interfere in choosing his successor after unexpectedly announcing his resignation on monday eighty five year old is to quit at the end of the month citing old age making him the first head of the catholic church to step down in nearly six centuries the director of the national secular society keith porter's word says there must be more to the official explanation. i think the dock trial side has been an absolute catastrophe for the church it's actually lost. its authority in many parts of the world when you say that you're going to. oppose politicians trying to bring in say same sex marriage laws and you invest or your authority on that and then you lose as if as effectively happened in those important catholic countries like spain portugal

brazil. and about to happen indeed in england and scotland in france then you actually lose the your authority it's more than just losing the fight so that's been a catastrophe for the church and church attendance has declined it in amazing rate and i think the child abuse scandal has been something that pope benedict has never recovered from he's been involved in it personally through the c.d.f. prefecture for twenty five years and in fact he's brought more into the vatican and tried to cover it up more and more and more so i think his his papacy will be seen as a major setback and a very bad papacy for the church. i'll be back with a news team with more for you in less than half an hour from now just over half an hour from now and after the break we're portal how household rubbish has become
